Why fining selfish smokers is an excellent move
THERE will be many local people unhappy about plans to fine drivers £50 for smoking with a child in their car.
I won’t be one of the discontented because I believe that anything that protects our vulnerable children from the selfishness of adults has got to be a good thing. Children should not need to suffer from an adult smoking – at the very least, it’s not pleasant and at worst it’s a serious health hazard.
By all means fine the offenders, and publish a list of them in the Bolton News as well. Children are a gift not a possession.
